For anyone that doesn't know ALS is the acronym for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease - the disease attacks the parts of the nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. Although the cause of ALS is unknown and there is no cure yet, research on the disease is advancing at an unprecedented pace, thanks to research centers like the one at Pittsburgh University (click here to read more about what they are doing). Curry's and DSYS (The Dulles South Youth Sports organization) have joined forces to raise money and promote awareness for ALS research through the medium of running.
The 5k and Fun Run will take place on Saturday March 19th at the Dulles South Multipurpose Center in South Riding, Virginia. Anyone who still wants to sign up, you have until the end of today to register at http://currys-dsys5k.com/, alternatively everyone is welcome to come along from 8am on Saturday and support all the runners.
The Curry's team will be in attendance, Judy Curry will be accompanying the runners equipped with a video camera to record everyone's experience. Matt Curry will be hosting the event and live tweeting through out (follow us on Twitter by clicking here), and our Marketing Director, John Phillips will be hosting spot prizes and live reports via the Curry's Facebook Fan Page.
So come down and join in the fun or follow all the action on Twitter and Facebook, we look forward to seeing you and remember, it's all for an amazing cause!
